Yes deck thinning is a benefit, but people are exaggerating how much different a 30 vs 29 card deck is. It's not really a very substantial statistical difference, and it's certainly not worth using 3 mana to get it (flare for example costs only 1 mana and has an incredibly powerful effect in addition to the deck thinning and it's virtually never played)
it's never played because its cost was nerfed to 2 mana
i was using two flares when it was only 1 mana ^^
